Short answer - It worked.

Long Answer - My first real date in years. We have a ton in common so conversation was near effortless, but after 4 hours I was unsure if the attraction went both ways. It's difficult for me to flirt with someone I don't know, I tried a couple times and it felt unnatural so I was just trying to be myself instead. Tried KINO a little bit, I wouldn't say it was unsuccessful but I didn't know if it helped. After leaving the bar, I stopped her mid sentence with "wait", and kissed her. She was into it and said it was really smooth. Rest of the night was great. Thanks for the help, Seddit!
